My family, and I, some years ago, when ACELA was fairly new, we missed our connection from D.C. to New Haven, by an hour and a half. They put us on ACELA, and my son kept saying that he couldn't really focus on the outside. We were moving that fast. We moved so fast, that we beat our original connection into New Haven by almost 2 hours. I was SHOCKED. When we called the person who was meeting us at the New Haven station, she was confused about the time that we arrived. When we told her what happened, then the confusion went away. She "Oh yeah, that what ACELA does". I can only imagine what Aveila does for you. That train is even faster!👍🏽👍🏽
It’s actually Acela not ACELA no need to put Acela in all caps 😂 that’s 1. 2. Wow nice memory you have there, those were the good days fr, i remember when the Acela Expresses were definitely new
So did I when I was a little kid the loud noise used to bother me but as I grew older I gotten used to it and started to enjoy it all because of the locomotive switches
@@jayydarailfaner549 yeah especially the Philly area and sometimes Penn station has P42s but I’m in central jersey where I only hear Alp 45s on the north jersey coastline tracks
24:02 I like how you can tell that the section of track we’re on was very obviously realigned for high speed service. Not sure when it was realigned, might’ve been in the late 70’s or the mid 90’s
I was living in Connecticut during the time the tracks were redone. It was the 80's. Surprisingly, it didn't slow down the rail traffic on the Metro North New Haven Line section.
If you have heard of Metra's Rcetrack - or that of new Jersey Transit between Princeton and Newark further up the NEC- the section between New Carrolton and Marshall BWI is MARC's equivalent; mostly straight, and both Northeast Regionals and Acela Express trains open it up in the winter - the rear view makes it obvious - with the middle track run from New Carrolton up almost halfway to Marshall BWI.
@@jayydarailfaner549 Yes - it has been like that even in the 1970s, when I first rode these same rails (1979 - my only Metroliner trip - from 30th Street Station to New Carrolton -when I had to STAND due to it being overboooked - as usual).
Last time I took the NER I did the same thing recording video out the back window - conductor got all annoyed with me because I guess there was a sign posted that I wasn't allowed into the rear vestibule. He calmed down though and when I asked he said we were doing 110 mph. It seems faster!
What i do now is stand clear of the window stand to the side for a couple of mins so they won’t see me. Looking out the rear view should be something people can do not can’t

@@jayydarailfaner549 that’s cool I live in NJ so I’ve never been able to see P42s in action
@@lamborginiandbuses you gotta be north of NJ or south of DC to see P42s

@@lamborginiandbuses on very rare occasions there may be & have been P42s running this route
Great video 😎 this is probably one of thee best vestibule rides I’ve ever found on RUclips.
It’s more of a rear view ride as video title states but thanks bud got a few more on the way
@@jayydarailfaner549 Yeah yk what I mean 😭 but there is? Nice can’t wait for it.
Really vibe with your stuff, keep up the amazing work!

Ill say 80s

Sometimes i wished it was quadruple tracked between New Carrollton & BWI Airport & tripple tracked between DC & New Carrollton
1:19:14 wow they upgraded that section to have three tracks
Actually it was always like that
@@jayydarailfaner549 Yes - it has been like that even in the 1970s, when I first rode these same rails (1979 - my only Metroliner trip - from 30th Street Station to New Carrolton -when I had to STAND due to it being overboooked - as usual).
Great video can you do a video from Philadelphia pa to hartford CT ?
Thanks. Yeah i could try

AYYE Awesome video!
Thankss
1:15 I can’t imagine if they decided to debut the Phase 3 Amfleets with the rest of the Phase 3 Viewliners Diners Baggage and Dorm Baggage!!!
1:23:22 are those old unfinished budd spv2000 carbodies?
They are old bud 2000 cars but idk about unfinished, they were probably stripped, not sure though
I wish I could learn how be a train conductor.
I wanna be one too, idk how i would learn I really wanna learn
Me too :(
Nice
